From Misinformation To Medicine: Forging Bipartisan Support to Reverse Anti-mRNA PolicyIn this article, I’ll share some of the progress AMM has made and the barriers the organization/our industry is still facing in our efforts to reverse the policy decisions that have been made against mRNA today. Throughout the panel, the speakers also shared their thoughts on the types of messaging we should be considering and/or have started to see making an impact.

There remain a lot of gaps in our understanding of plasmid quality, particularly for high-quality mRNA production (as opposed to viral vector production). In this segment of a recent Advancing RNA Live panel, speakers Adi Nair, Tyler Goodwin, and April Sena highlight their biggest questions around plasmid DNA quality, as well as the pros and cons of some of the analytical methods upon which we’re relying most heavily today to assess plasmid quality.
In this clip, Sanofi’s Greg Troiano kickstarts our discussion on some of the advances he’s seen in the supply chain for linear mRNA-LNP products, both in terms of supply availability and supplier capability.
The mRNA supply chain is undergoing massive growth in three particular areas. Here, speakers Khaled Yamout & Francoise Ribes walk us through the materials that have undergone the most scientific growth over the past few years and the impacts they’re noting these advancements having on the development of our mRNA drug substances and mRNA-LNP drug products.
In this final segment of an Advancing RNA Live discussion, panelists April Sena, Tyler Goodwin, and Adi Nair share the most meaningful and manageable improvements the industry can be making today to upstream and downstream processes to drive down mRNA-LNP COGS.In this final segment of an Advancing RNA Live discussion, panelists April Sena, Tyler Goodwin, and Adi Nair share the most meaningful and manageable improvements the industry can be making today to upstream and downstream processes to drive down mRNA-LNP COGS.
